Max was developing suspicions of his own about Brett Johnson. He began keeping a close eye on the admin on Carders Market, checking his access logs and scouring his private messages. For good measure, he hacked into Johnson's account on the International Association for the Advancement of Criminal Activity, IAACA, and reviewed his activity there. He found no smoking gun.

Could he really have brought an informant into the inner circle of his new crime site?

The problem was that there was no reliable test to determine if Johnson, or anyone else, was working for the government. Max wanted one badly—a jurisprudence security hole, like the buffer overflow in BIND, that he could use over and over again on anyone he suspected. If (is_snitch(Gollumfun)) ban(Gollumfun);. He confided in David Thomas, not realizing that Thomas had already put Iceman on his mile-long enemies list.

At one point in checking him out, he sent us some PayPal fulls that were valid, which I pegged as illegal. It made me think, okay, this guy isn't a fed or fed lackey.
